Abstract
A photobooth includes an electronic camera for capturing and producing a digital image of a customer, processes the digital image to apply a special effect to the image and prints the processed digital image. A display for displaying the processed digital image to the customer produces a motion image display simulating the sequential production of the processed image while the image is being processed and printed thereby entertaining the customer during the interval while the image is being processed and printed.
